15 Astonishing Facts About the Secret Service

Formed in 1865, the U.S. Secret Service was originally created to find and destroy any counterfeit money after the American Civil War. It wasn’t until the assassination of President William Mckinley in 1901 that they were tasked with protecting the president, and even then, only two stood guard at a time. Now, there are over 7,000 members of the secret service, tasked with everything from sweeping hotels for bugs and bombs, filming massive public events for future study, and even going on morning runs with the president.
